Cassette Kids is four Aussie kids, now living in Brooklyn, who write good dance songs. They make you feel alive, they get you dancing. The beats are hot and moving, the vocals clean--there's not a word you don't miss when Katrina sings. Everyone in the band moves when they play. Bassist Daniel Deitzslides his feet, Katrina jumps up, guitarist Daniel Schober moves his head up and down, and Jacob Read-Harber keeps the beat. The amount of energy this bands put into their performance is great. "You Take It" is an edgy song, the band played with oomph. The single "Lying Around" is a sexy, dance number that gets you pumped. The pop number "Spin" is catchy and dancey. Duh! Right? Indie electro-pop, for the win. This song surely beats many of the ''pop" songs out there. If you like The Ting Tings or Little Boots, then Cassette Kids is for you. The band was holding it down at Mercury Lounge. They knew how to work the crowd and they played a fun, first NYC show! They're playing the CMJ Music Marathon in October.
